I love this set, and I had a blast designing this card!! The image is colored with Copics, fussy cut, and then the front image was popped up with a double layer of 3D foam dots within an oval that I created by cutting the paper, and then curling the paper back, to expose the water patterned paper behind. The signage embellishments, summer border and dp are all from Carta Bella's Beach Boardwalk collection, while the Hey beach BOOTY sentiment is included with the stamp set. On the inside of the card, the back side of the image is popped up on an Action Wobble spring, that is also included with the stamp set.

Time again for me to share a little tutorial with you all for One Crazy Stamper, and today I have decided to show you how to add texture to any Copic colored image you do!

The first thing you need to know is that you must choose what area of the image you are going to texturize, as that will be the first thing you color and then use the technique on. For the following demos I have colored the tights on the Stamping Bella image The Right Shoes.﻿

After coloring the tights, you need to find some of your wonderful stamps that feature texture, and a mini mister filled with Copic Colorless Blender solution. I have used a cross hatch stamp, a stamp with polka dots, and another with a square pattern.

With the Copic Colorless blender solution, spritz the texturized stamp a couple of times - don't soak the stamp as that will cause the solution to spread excessively when applied to the finished colored image. Stamp the pre-colored area with the wet texture stamp, and be prepared to be amazed while you watch the texture appear on your colored image.

Welcome to another installment of Terrific Tuesday, and boy do I have a card to share with you!

Isn't this one of the cutest images you have ever seen?!!!!!!! This cutie is "SENIOR-ita" Wanda from Stamping Bella, and it just reminds of that favorite relative we all have experienced sometime in our life. I have colored her up with my Copics and Prismacolor pencils, paired her with some older Bo Bunny paper, added the included sentiment that came with the image, and created this one of a kind card! Gotta love it!!

Here's the second Mother's Day card that I finished on the weekend. This card features an adorable Saturated Canary image that I colored with Copics, and then mounted on dp from My Mind's Eye Notable collection. Makes me dream of warmer weather and flowers, something we are sadly lacking here in Alberta this spring.

The challenge this month at One Crazy Stamper is Anything Goes plus an embellishment, which is really easy - just add ribbon, flowers, etc, or in my case for today's post, I have added ribbon and a charm!﻿

Mother's Day is fast approaching, so I spent the weekend coloring up several images to celebrate the day! The first card features a beautiful A Day for Daisies image colored with Copic colors, that perfectly matched the Memory Box paper that forms the backdrop of the finished card. A Memory Box die and pearls finish off the card.

I'll be showing the rest of the cards throughout the week, so stay tuned!!
